Stereo and Surround Panning in Practice
نویسنده
چکیده
The apparent position of speech and music sound sources was investigated using both a two channel loudspeaker array and a three channel loudspeaker array. The results showed that a sine-cosine pan law was reasonably accurate for the three channel array, but consistently produced sharp images who’s positions were consistently wider than expected with a two channel array. The discrepancy was investigated using a headphone model. We found the apparent position depends strongly on the spectrum of the source, with speech frequencies tending to dominate the overall impression.

Enhanced Constant Power Panning Law for Surround Sound Systems
In this paper, we propose enhanced constant power panning (CPP) law which improves sound localization accuracy for two channel and multi-channel surround speaker layouts. Conventional CPP laws have different sound direction from panning angle, especially when the speakers are spread out widely. To overcome this drawback, we define a target angle and derive it by using directional psychoacoustic...
متن کاملSound of Vision - Spatial Audio Output and Sonification Approaches
The paper summarizes a number of audio-related studies conducted by the Sound of Vision consortium, which focuses on the construction of a new prototype electronic travel aid for the blind. Different solutions for spatial audio were compared by testing sound localization accuracy in a number of setups, comparing plain stereo panning with generic and individual HRTFs, as well as testing differen...
متن کاملReal-Time Conversion of Stereo Audio to 5.1 Channel Audio for Providing Realistic Sounds
In this paper, we address issues associated with the real-time implementation of upmixing stereo audio into 5.1 channel audio in order to improve audio realism. First, we review four different upmixing methods, including a passive surround decoding method, a least-meansquare based upmixing method, a principal component analysis based upmixing method, and an adaptive panning method. After that, ...
متن کاملStereo Panning Information for Music Information Retrieval Tasks*
Recording engineers, mixers, and producers play important yet often overlooked roles in defining the sound of a particular record, artist, or group. The placement of different sound sources in space using stereo panning is an important component of their work. Stereo panning information typically is not utilized in music information retrieval (MIR) tasks such as genre and artist classification....
متن کاملStereo Panning Features for Classifying Recording Production Style
Recording engineers, mixers and producers play important yet often overlooked roles in defining the sound of a particular record, artist or group. The placement of different sound sources in space using stereo panning information is an important component of the production process. Audio classification systems typically convert stereo signals to mono and to the best of our knowledge have not ut...
